Why do we always talk of putting
on a coat and vest! Who puts on a
ccat. before a vc-t ? We always say
putting on shoes r nd stocking '! Why
puts on the shoes before the stock
ings? We also put up signs telling
people to wipe their feet, when we
mean their boots or shoes. And a
father tells a boy he will warm his
jacket when he means to warm his
pantaloons. We are a little ecentric
in our phrases, aren't we at times?
Perry King Al. D., or La Porte
twp., who has been confined to his

most dreaded disease consumption,
died on Friday morning last. In

notwithstanding the rain which fell
m torrents was very largely attend
ed by friends from all parts of the

sketch of deceased life in our next

: MR. KIUTOR: —The article publish
ed in the IlEi'i kucan at a recent
date in reference to the necessity of
( erecting a church in the Bostiou
school district Davidson twp., has
met the approval of all our people
with whom I have had the pleasure
iof mentioning the subject. It is as
; you said wo have a large farming
I district composed of good and j
| liberal men and it is a mystery to !
me why something has n««t been
j done in the interest of such n worthy
i calling and especially when so much
needed by our people, during the,
| past years. The sight on the corner
| near tin school house would be very i
j appropriate for the edifice and j
j would be a credit to our neighbor- :
I hood. We have many good and
i christian people in our midst who '
should and is looked upon as the ;
proper persons to take the first step '•
in this direction. Friends is it
not your duty to make this advance
ment ? Would it not be a credit to j
us old settlers who have resided here j
i' i a half century, to erect a mouu-1
inent in the shape of a church in j
rememberance of our long career in I
the wilds ot this portion of little |
Sullivan. Neighbors give it your;
thought for a moment,
X KIGIIBOU. ,
[Owing to the fact that we are !
credited with the first step in this
worthy cause we feel it our duty to i
inscribe our name on the subscrip- '
tion paper (should there be one cir
culated) and will do so to the j
' amount of $5,00. hn.]
It is time that appli ants forcer.- 1
sus taking in each borough arid'
township in the county, shall born
up a,, d urge their right for the ap
pointment. This is a Republican
gift and of course we are all good
Republicans.
'I lie person <>f l.aPortt*.\ho writes
poetry and such trash fort in; Hughes-
Mail and other worthies
sheets ought to be in better busi
ness. If the people of the county
elevated his legal and learned quali
ties half so great as the gentleman
<loes himself he would receive a pait
i of'.he law practice throughout tic

a portion of his spare and worthless
time as at present. Those who read

YE EDITOR'S BLUE DAY-
We mix in the great international
'jam; we crowd and push and rush
j and worry. And all for what?
I Over in ho grave yard yonder lie
the hopes, ambitions and dreams of
a thousand men who rushed and
worried, who toiled and struggled
only to find a narrow prison cell
where no hopes or thoughts or love
can come. Ami does it pay ? Ought
it to be the base metal of a fluctuat
ing commercial value of the priceless
coin of pleasure and content that we
poor mortals should strive to secure?
Buried cities centuries oid are found
covered with the dust of human
, beings They yield up their treas
uries and vandals dig among the
bones of dead without a sacred
thought, they may find a bit of gold
to satiate their agreed. And the
. man who pauses to reflect upon the
cause «>f it all picks a bare bone in
the glare of bis neighbor's clustered
I diamond a.— ZAncoln (Neb.) Call.
HAPPY CHICAGO.
Chicago gave I'resident Harrison
an enthusiastic welcome M< " lav
The President had the opportunity
of being present at the opening of
the Auditorium, the grand building
in which his nomination for the
Presidency was made. The build
ing has since that memorable event
been completed, and is now a very
handsome structure. Chicago is
' quite proud of it, and she is also
proud of having secured the pres
ence cf President Harrison at its
formal opening. Her delight will
not reach full scope, however, until
she captures the world's fair, and
should she secure that, nothing will
enable her to properly spread her
self unless it should be the annexa
tion of what little of the State ofj
"Illenoy" still lies outside of the!
city limits. Notwithstanding the j
presentation of a bill in Congress.!
yesterday to have the fair held in
Washington, Chicago will -.till press
, her claims, and not without hopes of
success, either. The fact that of the
Congressmen who have expressed a
preference, the majority were for
Chicngo, naturally gives her great
encouragement. She is not, under
any circumstances, a city that is j
inclined to get discouraged easily j
when she is making a push for any
special point, and if energy, liberalij
ty and perseverance will knock the |
persimmons in the case, Chicago j
may be said to have the pole.
Jetferson Davis is dead. Let him
rest in peace. His stormy creer is
ended in the grave where all must;
end. Future generations will give
' him his proper place in history, j
We cannot. lie was mistaken,j
but he was conscientious. I.et nil J
! throw the mantle of charity over
\ his memory, and trust that those
! who are now so loyal to him and
: the "Dead Cause." have discarded all
! bitterness and with the dawning of
1 a new era accept as imperishable
the truths of the Declaration of In
dependence and the Constitution.
; Esto fierpctua, lot it bo in truth, as
I well as in name. The death of Mr.
I Davis removes the last link in the
chain of disunion, and while extend
ling to his family and lYu;iu .. the
| full measure of our sympathy and
condolence, let us not forget our
I duty to ourselves and our Govern
ment, and clasping hands with our
! Southern brothers endeavor to make,
Jour entire country a Government
i"of the people, for the people and
jby the people." Thus will we fulfill
| the destiny of the Nation as our
: fore-father both Northern and South-
Urn intended it to be.— Kx. '
